The Project will continue to cover at least one township in each State/Region of the country. In the first instance, the Project would focus on expanding to townships that have already been identified in the participatory township selection process to date, where operationally feasible. As additional townships are added, the Project would not necessarily seek to cover an equal number of townships in each State/Region, but rather select townships based on poverty rates and headcount, as well as on operational considerations (e.g. the potential for clustering townships, minimum security conditions, and the presence of other interventions of a similar nature, etc.). Poverty data are anticipated to improve significantly in the next two to three years as additional poverty analyses are undertaken, and these will help inform the Project’s targeting. By focusing on the poorest townships in Myanmar, the Project will continue to directly support the twin goals of reducing extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity.
